RB Leipzig vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 1, RB Leipzig 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+300).

RB Leipzig crushed Young Boys in its opener and has been strong at home. It drew Bayern Munich, one of the top teams in all of Europe 2-2 Saturday at home and has wins this season over Union Berlin 3-0 and Bayern Munich 3-0 (DFL-Supercup).

It has the capability of getting a draw here, just as it did in the Round of 16 against Man City last season. City has lost its last 2 matches, losing 1-0 in the EFL Cup to Newcastle Wednesday and 2-1 to the Wolves Saturday. It also has Arsenal on Saturday to prepare for.

City has played numerous games and could overlook this one. For the value, take DRAW (+300).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+115).

In 3 of its last 5 games, Leipzig has held its opponent to 1.0 or fewer expected goals. It has had a strong defense this season, and while its offense has been electric, City has one of the best backlines in the EPL as well.

City has allowed multiple goals in just 1 of 11 games throughout all competitions this season. It has scored just 1 goal in its last 2 games though, so the offensive woes may start to come on for the ultra-talented City.

Back UNDER 2.5 (+115).

The Citizens won their only other March game, a 2-0 triumph over visiting Newcastle United on March 4.

RB Leipzig knocked off Borussia Monchengladbach 3-0 on Saturday in Bundesliga action, with all 3 goals coming in the 2nd half.

Manchester City vs. RB Leipzig picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 2, RB Leipzig 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Man City (-290) has been in great form recently, picking up 4 wins and 1 draw in its last 5 games, and is justifiably a massive favorite. However, risking nearly 3 times your potential return — even at the Etihad — is not a sound betting strategy.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS.

Both teams have been creating many offensive opportunities in their previous matches and that should be no different as they look to emerge from this aggregate. Man City is trying to avoid its first last-16 exit since the 2016-17 campaign. City is also chasing history in front of the home crowd as it could equal Arsenal’s record for the longest unbeaten run at home in the Champions League at 23 games with at least a draw.

With everything at stake in this game, expect a lot of action, enough to make a LEAN to the OVER 2.5 (-150).

RB Leipzig vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 3, RB Leipzig 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

While the Arsenal onslaught in the EPL has overshadowed City’s play, their offense has been elite, scoring 2.5 goals per game this season. They have won 5 of their last 7 games throughout all competitions and are clearly the more talented side.

However, in the group stage last season, they had fewer expected goals when taking on Leipzig on the road and ended up losing 2-1. While City will be a popular favorite, pass on the moneyline here. Red Bull Arena has been a difficult place to win this season, but betting against City also isn’t a wise move.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-135).

In the 2 games between these teams last season, there were 12 goals scored, and in each game, both teams has more than 1 expected goal. On top of that, City’s defense has taken a step back, averaging 1 goal per game allowed which doesn’t compare favorably to the .68 they allowed per game last season.

The absence of M Kevin de Bruyne could be beneficial here as well with M Phil Foden potentially sliding in and producing a more offense-focused style of play. That said, Leipzig is averaging 2.05 goals per game which is similar to last season’s 2.12. They scored 2 goals per game on City in 2 matchups.

Put it all together, and back the OVER 2.5 (-135).

RB Leipzig vs. Manchester City odds, expert picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s RB Leipzig vs. Manchester City odds and lines, with Champions League picks and predictions.

On Tuesday, Manchester City (4 wins, 1 loss, 0 draws) travels to Red Bull Arena Leipzig to take on RB Leipzig (1-3-1). Kickoff is scheduled for 12:45 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the RB Leipzig vs. Manchester City odds and lines, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

We’re at the point in the Champions League group stage matches where teams are playing each other for a second time. Round 1 of these two teams was in London and ended 6-3 Man City.

This is the final group stage match for both teams. Leipzig, led by star French F Christopher Nkunku, sits 11th on the Bundesliga table. Nkunku leads the team with 6 goals on the season.

They’ve scored 13 and given up 13 in five games. As for City, they’ve scored 17 and gave up 8. City is atop the Premier League and are led by M Jack Grealish and M Kevin de Bruyne.

Prediction

Manchester City 3, RB Leipzig 2

Money line (ML)

BET on MANCHESTER CITY -112.

There’s no reason why a team like Man City, which has the depth and talent to play with a mid-tier Bundesliga team even when down a few players, can’t come out on top.

They already slaughtered Leipzig earlier on in UCL action, and with F Phil Foden and M İlkay Gündoğan both expected to be active, City should just have too much talent.

They’ve been scoring at will in UCL play, and Leipzig is giving up more than two goals per game.

Given Man City’s defense, the second-best in the EPL, I expect a strong showing from the roadside although they already have the top spot clinched.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 3.5 (+133). Last time these two teams met, the total ended at 9. While City should be resting some its key players, they’ll still have talent on the pitch.

With Leipzig needing this win, Nkunku will likely be playing all 90 minutes. This is a must-win game for them, and they should do their best to break down the City backline.

I’d wait to bet this game until you see who City plays as many of their stars should be active, even if they don’t see time. If players like Foden and Raheem Sterling start, I wouldn’t hesitate hitting the Over here.

RB Leipzig at Manchester City odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s RB Leipzig at Manchester City odds and lines, with UEFA Champions League picks and predictions.

On the second day of the first round of UEFA Champions League group stage action, RB Leipzig will travel to take on Manchester City. The match will be held at Etihad Stadium with kickoff scheduled for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the RB Leipzig vs. Manchester City odds and lines, and make our best UEFA Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester City is coming in having hit its stride in English Premier League play. M Jack Grealish, who was recently acquired, has been phenomenal for the home side.

While City has yet to have a true nine step up, it has still managed 11 goals through four games and has given up just one. Defense, led by D Kyle Walker and company, has stepped up big time.

Unfortunately, the opposite can be said of RB Leipzig, who has largely disappointed in the Bundesliga. Leipzig has one win and three losses. It was held scoreless in two of its four matches.

Prediction

Manchester City 3, RB Leipzig 0

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to MANCHESTER CITY (-300) as it’s the far superior side; however, I’d also hesitate to bet at this price no matter who is taking the pitch.

There is a better value, and that’s for RB LEIPZIG TO NOT SCORE at (-105). You can get one team not to score for -135, but given Man City’s midfield presence, it’s going to get on the board.

RB, as noted, has been held scoreless twice. Man City has given up just one goal.

When these two meet, I expect a dominant Man City performance, one that could result in a clean sheet for GK Ederson, who already has three clean sheets through four matches in EPL play.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (-155) as the Man City midfield should prove to overpower M Tyler Adams and RB Leipzig.

Combining M Kevin de Bruyne, Grealish, and M İlkay Gündoğan, who is coming off the best season of his career, Man City has lethal control in the middle of the field.

It lost only to Tottenham due to sloppy defending on a counterattack and its opponent stuffing eight in the box at almost all times.

Other than that, City has been flawless as a unit. Given Leipzig’s struggles, I could easily see Man City putting 3 or 4 goals on Leipzig. It scored at least 4 goals in two of its four EPL matches.
